King of Lomar is poisoned into madness as cabal of Ice Witches take over the kingdom.
Just as Lomar finally managed to push invading humans back and begin to resettle previously lost lands, a new disaster struck the ancient human kingdom.
A previously unknown cabal of Ice Witches (though to be connected to both
Nythrathril and the purged Brides of Nyithr) managed to infiltrate the kingdom and poison the king, making him gone insane.
With the last obstacle broken, Ice Witches took control over the kingdom, initiating a period of unspeakable terror and dread.
